The value story

It has never been cheaper than $0.21. That was October 2015. It has been discounted 96 times in the 11 years tracked here, typically at 90 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales.

It is cheaper than 85 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 78 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Bridge ($9.99, scores 66) beats it on value, while it beats gravilon ($2.99, scores 5).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 5 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 3.5-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Inside the two-hour refund window, 56 percent of the 363 reviews written there were positive, against 68 percent overall, and those are 44 percent of everything written about it.

The drop-off

17% start to 5% finish

Steam counts fewer than one in ten of its players at the ending achievement. On a 3.5-hour game, that's a lot you pay for and may never use. Steam global achievements

What players say

But at the same time other levels (mainly in the last world) felt like they had way too narrow solutions (to get 3 starts). It was to the point that I was following the walkthrough step by step and was still getting a whole bunch of failed attempts for pixel sized differences...

Tiny Bridge: Ratventure, developed by Estelion and published by Senpai Industrial Studios, is a physics-driven puzzle game that combines structural design with real-time problem-solving in a way that feels both creative and slightly chaotic. At its heart, the game revolves around constructing bridges for small creatures-primarily rats-to safely cross hazardous gaps, but it adds an extra layer of unpredictability by...

Similar to World of Goo but with mice. Build bridges and point where mice have to go but watch out because it's physics based. Without much flair, at least some puzzle require a bit of thinking or just trial and error.
